For the next two days, Xunmi stayed in the Xun family's raw stone market, constantly familiarizing herself with the knowledge in her head.
Moreover, she had Bao Bao, her cheating weapon, so she won ten out of ten gambles.
She could also appraise some of the higher-grade raw stones, but the quality and color might not be very good.
Tomorrow was the stone gambling event. Xunmi dragged her tired body back home.
Tonight, she decided to rest well. She must sleep well so that she would be energetic tomorrow.
"Qearl, you're back. Let me see if you've lost weight."
When Father Xun saw Xunmi, he pulled her aside and kept checking her.
When he came back two days ago, he was almost scared to death when he heard his precious daughter's words.
The Le family that he had been on good terms with for so many years actually had such ideas.
He was wondering why such a huge commotion would happen at such a time.
Did they really think that there was no one in the Xun family? Look at how outstanding his daughter was.
The moment she came back, she brought Boss Mo back. What was Le ChenXi? What was the Le family? Hmph.
Father Xun was the kind of person who could only let his daughter dump him, but not the other way around.
Even if you don't want my daughter, it's because my daughter doesn't like your son.
This time, Le ChenXi really made him angry. If it wasn't for his daughter not being home, their Le family's business would be affected.
He wouldn't have cared about the rumors outside. Now, it was proven that his daughter doesn't like you.
"Father, you're exaggerating. It's only been two days, how can you lose weight?"
Xunmi helped her father sit down and replied in amusement.
Her father loved to worry for nothing, but he was especially cute.
"Qearl, just do your best for tomorrow's stone gambling event."
"Our Xun family can still afford to lose. Don't force yourself."
It didn't matter if they fell to a second-rate family, as long as their family was fine.
"Father, you have to believe me. All these years, I've learned more than just tofu dregs."
"I still have to give this championship to you and mother as a silver wedding gift. Oh right, mother said that she'll rush back to watch my competition."
When she came back, her mother was traveling with Le ChenXi's mother.
Who knew that after two days of traveling, there would be news of the two families falling out.
This caused the two of them to feel extremely awkward. Then, with the excuse that their destinations were different, they parted ways.
"Yes, your mother will be here tomorrow morning." Father Xun's face was filled with tenderness when he mentioned Mother Xun.
Xunmi snickered. When her mother came back, she would probably never see her father like this again.
This was because she would be ordered around by her mother. Her mother was definitely a queen at home. Then, her father would become a chatterbox and complain.
"Then Daddy, you should go and rest. You still have to pick up Mommy in the morning."
Xunmi pushed Father Xun upstairs and went to the studio to check on the equipment needed for tomorrow.
The Stone Gambling Conference was held in the largest Stone Gambling Market. The huge hall was divided into four areas.
Raw materials, semi-raw materials, stone cutting, auction, and appraisal.
There was a platform in the middle that was about a hundred meters wide and one meter high. It was specially used for the competition.
Xunmi brought the Xun family's group over early in the morning to prepare. Today, not only were they going to gamble on stones, they were also going to sell stones.
In the jade industry, most people would have some collections, whether it was raw materials or finished products that had been cut out.
It would be most appropriate to make a move on the day of the stone gambling convention.
You want to ask why? It was because there were a lot of spendthrifts.
On this day, merchants would gather. If they weren't rich, then they were famous. Everyone wanted to join in on the excitement of the triennial Stone Gambling Conference.
Maybe they could really get a bargain. Even if they didn't get anything, wouldn't there be so many people with high status?
Knowing one or two of them wouldn't be a loss.
After finding the Xun family's area and arranging the raw materials, Xunmi left it to her father's secretary.
She went up to the third floor. There were already people waiting there.
"Brother Han, good morning. Have you eaten breakfast?"
Xunmi knocked on the door and walked in. She discovered that it wasn't just Mo WenHan, Guan Xiao, and a few others.
There was also the Xie family, Le family, and Lu family. Including her, all the jade aristocratic families were present.
"I've eaten. I've prepared something you like. Come and eat."
Mo WenHan waved at Xunmi with a forced smile on his face.
Although it still looked stiff, it was clearly more relaxed and soft.
Xunmi didn't act pretentious and naturally sat beside Mo WenHan.
"Uncle Lu, Uncle Xie, Family Head Le." It was clear at a glance who was close and distant.
"Little Xun, why are you alone? Where's your father?"
He asked with a smile. He glanced at Le ZhengTian with disdain. He really had eyes but couldn't see.
"Dad went to pick up mom, so I came over first."
Xunmi replied while eating her soup dumplings. She took the milk Brother Han gave her and pursed her lips.
"Brother Han, are you being picky again? Drinking milk is good for the body."
Don't think she didn't notice that this cup of milk was a bit excessive.
"Nope." He only drank half of it. Mo WenHan's face didn't turn red.
Xunmi looked at Mo WenHan suspiciously and drank the entire cup of milk.
The people across from her had different expressions, especially Le ZhengTian.
When had Xunmi not affectionately called him Uncle Le? Now she actually dared to make him lose face in front of Boss Mo.
"Miss Xun, I still haven't had the chance to thank you. If you need anything in the future, my Xie Family will definitely help."
Xie Yan took advantage of the situation to interject. Being able to form a relationship with Miss Xun meant being on good terms with Boss Mo.
Even if they didn't need Boss Mo's help, at least they wouldn't be hostile in the future.
Moreover, this time they really did need to thank Xunmi. If it wasn't for Xunmi begging Boss Mo, his daughter wouldn't have been released.
Le Family, An ZiYi. Wait until after the stone gambling convention, he would definitely deal with them.
Xunmi waved her hand: "Uncle Xie, you're too polite. Miss Xie was also framed."
"I just happened to find out about this matter. You don't need to mind it."
Xie Yan heard Xunmi's words and didn't continue to be polite with her. He nodded with a smile.
His heart was filled with admiration for this Miss Xun. The younger generation of their families couldn't compare to this Miss Xun.
Sure enough, Le ZhengTian was becoming more muddle-headed as he got older. He actually threw away such a good daughter-in-law for something like that.
Xunmi didn't care about the strange atmosphere between them and ate happily.
Once everyone left, she also finished eating.
"Madam, Xie Family Head wanted me to pass on a message to you."
"Le ZhengTian promised him that if An ZiYi doesn't become the champion of this year's stone gambling convention."
"He'll hand her over to the Xie Family and let them do whatever they want with her."
Guan Xiao promptly put away the food and passed on the message Xie Yan had entrusted to him before he left.
Xunmi stood up and stretched. Mo WenHan helped her tidy up her somewhat messy clothes.
"Oh … It's about time to start. An ZiYi? I'm looking forward to it. "
